New Layout - Goodbye Mia

Hello all,

I'm scrapping away. With the loss of our friend David Winfrey, I was feeling blue and thought it was a good time to finally scrap the loss of our fur-baby, Mia. We adopted her from the SPCA in 2007 as a puppy. She was a mixed mutt, but was an amazing protector and loving friend. It was a very hard day for us all. 

I played along with More than Words July Challenge - Goodbye & Monochromatic.

Word Inspiration - GOODBYE

Creative Challenge - MONOCHROMATIC

I used blue for my monochromatic theme and used Goodbye in my title. It was a sad day that I've been avoiding scrapbooking. This challenged helped me finally get the memory recorded and let the tears flow.

I also played along wtih Archi-Scraps July challenge Art Deco. 

This one was difficult and I tried my best to add Art Deco to my layout. I used Fleur-de-Lis background paper, ribbon that mimic's fans, arches in the title "Family", pearls and metal in the "O", and pearl  arch shape in the top left corner. 

For this layout I used paper from chatterboxinc.com, stud from Prima, glitter dots from SEI, pearls from Prima, blue bling from Heidi Swapp, stickers from Bella Blvd, title and jounaling block from MME, letter stickers from October Afternoon, label sticker from MME, stamps and ink from CTMH, quickutz, and misc. ribbon and arrow from my stash.

Thanks for visiting!
